The listing also shows details of the smartphone's battery and connectivity specifications. Realme has not revealed any information about the smartphone, but leaks have claimed that Realme 9i will be the first smartphone to arrive under the Realme 9 series in January.

The Realme 9i handset was spotted on the US FCC and TUV Rheinland websites by MySmartPrice with the model number RMX3941.
